Effect of Chorioamnionitis on Brain Development and Injury in Premature Newborns
Ann Neurol 66:155-164, 127, Chau,V.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Histopathological chorioamnionitis does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of white matter injury on magnetic resonance imaging or with abnormalities of brain development. In contrast, postnatal infections and hypotension are associated with an increased risk of white matter injury in the premature newborn.
